Lunch on the barricades
“What they’re offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul” - Paul Ryan
Gail Collins appeals to working, middle class, busy mothers of young children. These mothers for the most part are democrats, as Collins criticizes republican representatives in the article. The article is for people who believe lunch should be served in schools and be healthy; not make mothers who are unable to pack lunches guilty and feed children with junk food. The article quickly catches the mother's eye as all mothers are concerned with their child's health.
